It might be nice to have a website(s) that act as entry points to tor and that use names that do not immediately scream TOR PROXY SERVER!  TOR ENTRY POINT RIGHT HERE! so that it is less likely for IT departments to be able to easily block access to such (I am also prevented from accessing any proxy servers and they often name themselves as proxies to boot so they scream their nature and make it easy to block).  Is there any way to create tor entry point servers that provide the benefits of the tor network without the cost of providing the site with user ID AND endpoint site?


If you do not control the computer you are using then you have already
lost the privacy/censorship battle and TOR can't help you.


If someone wanted to run an open proxy network which exited via tor
there is no way that we could stop them... but they should NOT use the
word "tor" to describe their service because such a service would NOT
and could NOT provide the anonymity protection which tor is intended
to provide.
